Why did Russia attack Ukraine? Why was the world tense as a result of President Vladimir Putin's move? What does Russia want from Ukraine? Why have two neighboring countries become enemies of each other? After all, what did Ukraine do that, taking the displeasure of Russia, started firing its missiles at Ukraine?
There are many questions that the world wants to know the answer to. Why has Russia declared war in this area of Eastern Europe?
Russia and Ukraine have a similar history to India and Pakistan, which came into existence on the same day. This day was December 25, 1991. On this day, Soviet Russia (USSR) disintegrated and 15 new countries were formed. Ukraine and Russia were also among these 15 countries. Let us tell you that in 1991, both Ukraine and Russia were part of the USSR. Prior to 1991, Soviet Russia led the communist block in the world's two polar system, and had a strong competition with America.
Then there was such a fierce rivalry between Soviet Russia and America, both countries came to the edge of war many times. The world knows this period from 1945 to 1991 as the Cold War. But capitalist America was victorious in this race, and on December 25, 1991, the USSR was divided into 15 countries. With this, America became the leader of the whole world.
Why did Russia attack Ukraine? Why was the world tense as a result of President Vladimir Putin's move? What does Russia want from Ukraine? There are reasons these two countries with common border became enemies ? After all, Russia doesn't want that Ukraine go to NATO and ask for American help which is a security threat for Russia in a big way.
There are many questions that the world wants to know the answer to. Why has Russia declared war in this area of Eastern Europe?
Russia and Ukraine have a similar history, which came into existence on the same day. This day was December 25, 1991. On this day, Soviet Russia (USSR) disintegrated and 15 new countries were formed. Ukraine and Russia were also among these 15 countries. Prior to 1991, Soviet Russia led the communist block in the world's two polar system, and had a strong competition with America.
In 2004, 3 of these 15 countries, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, became members of NATO. This meant that America had now reached the neck of Russia. Because these three countries located in the Baltic region came out of the USSR and their borders met with Russia, we all know that there is an agreement between the NATO countries that if any one country is attacked, then all the members of NATO will consider it an attack on themselves and will respond with their combined military power.
There are currently 30 countries in NATO. In this way, America started the siege of Russia through NATO.
So that's why Ukraine wants to become a NATO member, which Putin does not approve of at all. Ukraine met the borders of Russia, and Ukraine also wanted to join NATO to increase its strength. Ukraine, taking advantage of its geographical position, started demanding from America that it should also be made a member of NATO.
Putin was deeply irritated by this move by Ukraine's President Gelsinki. He started sending his army to the Ukrainian border. Now Putin Says that Ukraine was never an independent state and openly describes Ukraine as a puppet of the Western world. Russia says that NATO member countries, including the US, should give written guarantees that they will not conduct their military activities in Eastern Europe and Ukraine.
Now America has decided to stop all imports from Russia, while, according to my knowledge, America and Europe are still importing energy from Russia.
